I don't think either the 950 or the Kindle are phenomenal at web-browsing. I haven't found much use for the browser on the 950 yet. Primarily I am using it for wikipedia, and it works great for that purpose. It definitely works better if you visit the mobile version of websites. I am able to read and send webmails. It comes with preloaded website links for weather, gmail, news, ESPN, goodreads, facebook, twitter, etc.
My biggest complaint is that if you have a weblink in your book on the 950 you cannot click on it and auto-launch the browser. I find that disappointing. The Kindle does have that ability, and it's a very useful feature.
I'd say the Kindle browser is better but not by a significant margin. Both load websites about the same speed. I like that the Kindle has an article mode that focuses on the text whereas the Sony looks at the full website, and you have to scroll more.
I bought my ereader to read ebooks, and I find the web-browsing to be lower on the list of my priorities.
